She's a pretty girl. Should grow into a beautiful snake.

Re: red sided baby

that is some colour, Don
while I'm personally not fond of pink as a colour, I must say, she's a particularly fetching shade of pink and she certainly wears it much better than I could
I'm curious to see whether she keeps it

Re: red sided baby

Congrats Don,

success is much sweeter when you have a hard turn to it.
Hope that we can see her babies in a few years.

BTW: Is it a mice oder a rats leg in her mouth?

Re: red sided baby

I hope she stays pink too!! That is a rat pup leg she is eating. I have had no luck getting mice to breed, but the rats have been doing good. I cut the legs of the frozen rat pups and feed them to the smaller snakes until they are big enough for whole rat pups.

Re: red sided baby

I usually start with smelt tails for my hatchlings, and turm them to mice pinkies later. Do you feed rodents only from the beginning?
